What do you find therapeutic? - Page 6

Chad · 11-01-2019, 09:36 PM

Hard labor, like yard work, home repair, automotive repair, and gardening.

No popcorn. Don't want dirty fingers handling clean clothes.

But there are TVs and some comfy chairs to wait in and they put tiny vehicles on display, like these. When the laundry's done, I'll take you to the restaurant and sushi bar next door. How's that?

Cutting quilt squares, sewing them together, my cat stopping by to meow the latest 'all's good', and a good movie! (Football game too!)

I know it won't appeal to many..lol

Occasionally housework is therapeutic for me. Sometimes I get into almost a meditative state where my thoughts are free-flowing while I do repetitive work. Unfortunately, this doesn’t happen most of the time.

RebelDyke · 11-03-2019, 02:16 PM

sometimes for me it is the simple sound of silence that helps me focus my thoughts and process down problems. If i have music going int he background I cannot think.

Cleaning and organizing my apt also helps. Perhaps it is the whole organizing thing. IDK. I'll look more into that one.

JDeere · 11-03-2019, 09:24 PM

So where is this laundromat, we are supposedly going to open?

I need to do some laundry for my anxiety LOL

Finished two quilts, lap size.
One Christmas and the other shabby chic-ish

Quite relaxing to see finished projects.

Blade · 11-28-2019, 02:12 AM

Quiet

Being off work for a week. It's therapeutic for my mind.

Bèsame* · 11-28-2019, 07:02 AM

Up early, drinking coffee, listening to the still of the morning. I can hear the train whistle and the rumble as it travels down the track, off in the distance.

I'm about 3 blocks away.

I think that you may have the start of a good country music song there.

Chained Daisy · 11-28-2019, 10:04 AM

Jigsaw puzzles, online jigsaw puzzles to be precise.

I nestled down the other evening on the sofa under a fur throw and a cat, mug of hot chocolate, twinkle lights on, candles lit and whiled away an hour or so with a jigsaw.

I find evenings like this very therapeutic. It crossed my mind how reclusive I have become in middle age. I am content.

Chad I couldn't agree more, she does!

cinnamongrrl · 04-27-2024, 07:23 PM

Listening to death metal very loudly in my car on my way home…..

The loudness seems to balance my thoughts and make me calmer. Maybe it’s my ADD brain that makes it that way…

Gemme · 06-06-2024, 09:51 PM

I listen to music and tinker about the apartment, do versions of Solitaire on the computer or scroll through TikTok. The last one also keeps me up at night so I try to limit that one.

Chancie · 06-08-2024, 05:17 PM

I find playing in the pool at my local Y very therapeutic. I feel like a mermaid when I’m in the water. Unfortunately my right foot and ankle are healing from tendonitis, and I haven’t been able to enjoy the pool for about two weeks.

Kätzchen · 06-09-2024, 10:02 AM

Spending time with people (friends and family) I love and adore and respect.

Especially with my partner. Spending quality time together with people I care about always gives me peaceful feelings and enriches my life and theirs.
